Indeed, bats that fly at night, relying on echolocation, fly too close to the blades. The pressure drop (which their sonar doesn't let them detect) tends to make the capillaries in their lungs go pop.
Ignore the HPNA stuff which will require special NICs, that's only useful if you want to run network AND phone on the lines concurrently.
4 wires is enough for 10Mbit/s ethernet - any pair of 10/100 cards should be able to make a connection. It won't be super-fantastic, but will work with what you've got. What you have running through the walls is basically Cat3.
Even better, use GNU ddrescue (basically, an intelligent wrapper for dd).
It will reads larger blocks when it can, smaller ones when it's finding errors, writes a log file and allows resuming.
I'll go you one better - make a copy, then make a copy of the copy, then recover the 2nd generation copy. That way, you avoid a second pass through the failing drive.
Why does slashdot allow people to submit stories about their own blog posts?
Are you familiar with the Firehose? It's just how it works, don't complain about options, etc.. Clearly, someone thought this was interesting enough to get modded up to a level where The Editors noticed it and thought it was worthy (or, in this case, might incite enough bloodshed to become amusing).
...or, with even more cynicism:
1) submit ad-laden story to Slashdot
2) submit kick-back to editors
3) Profit!
True, I agree. However, what's on the other side of The Line is sometimes worse.
When the price of oil gets high enough, then projects like Oil Sands start to get profitable. The Athabasca Oil Sands produce 5% of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions and the tailing ponds occupy something like 130km^2.
I'd see my wife, my Golde,
looking like a rich man's wife
with a proper double-chin!
Weight gain used to be a sign of wealth: it meant that you weren't so poor as to be starving. I'm not so sure that's something that we should bring back.
I find it interesting that my copy of Fedora running in a VirtualBox VM reports that the cpu supports neither svm nor vmx. (I although I guess that virtualization *inside* a VM is overkill.)
Every English-speaking Swede I know always uses English words when speaking English. They never stick a Swedish word in the middle of an English sentence if an accurate translation exists.
The scanner needs to connect to port 445 of the target - if it's blocked by a firewall, you'll get a "No resp.".
(BTW - links in the GP will also help you getting the scanner running under Linux - I just had to install Impacket and run the scanner)
Don't hold your breath. On the one hand, I think that this is an excellent solution to the broken electoral college system, which hasn't really made sense since the revolution of the telegraph.
Getting enough states, however, to "adopt similar resolutions" will take forever. Each state government will have it's own spin, and then they'll stop playing nice...Sigh, politics.
The people who can differentiate between Start, Home Basic and Home Premium won't bother with either, and the people who can't won't care which one they get.
No, they'll only know that the price is different, and they'll buy the most expensive one that the sales guy can talk them in to.
Seriously - you think that Microsoft does this for the benefit of the customers?!

Here's a press release, or else a radio interview with the authors (second story down - OGG available!)
The problems with bird deaths have been largely overcome. A growing issue with wind turbines is bats:

Now that you've read the above, go watch The Onion News story (linked to further above). That is all.

I prefer the name Pandemic Influenza Germ...although people will undoubtedly shorten that to an acronym of some sort.

So, it's 30 million crowns.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but wouldn't getting hit by lightning be the sort of thing that would damage the laser?
Do not look at lightning with remaining laser.
Since the Linux Foundation's site is getting hammered, here are links direct to youtube. I hope that I got the correct vids...feel free to correct me.
First place: What does it mean to be free
Second: The Origin
Third: Linux Pub
Other two finalists: The Future is Open
Challenges at the Office
Actually, I completely agree with this. Facebook is a huge distraction, and I don't allow myself to check it at all during the work day.
Slashdot, on the other hand...if only I could stop checking Slashdot, I could get some real work done!

Plus, added bonus:
Maybe learning to defeat your blocking protocols will teach her 1337 hacker skills.
(Actually, I'm being serious - if she can out-hack her old man, she'll do fine in the real world.)
I'm a little amazed that no one has linked to yesterday's XKCD.
This article indicates that it's based on Gentoo.
Google cache of the uci.cu site, which isn't responding.
You seem to have confused Cuba with Mexico. Try this.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you are a product of the American educational system.

You cannot patent the invention *and* release it under GPL.
From the US Patent office: The patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention in the United States. You cannot enjoy that protection and allow others to use it for free.
If you do not defend your market exclusivity, a competitor can apply to have your patent overturned/revoked. It would be a slam-dunk.
1.6 million processor / 96 racks / 43 U/rack
= 388 processors/U
clearly, we're not in Kansas anymore.
there must be a simpler way to achieve the same result...
My personal favorite are Ring Species. That'll mess with your mind!
